Towbars for shite- need one?

[Barry Cade]

Progress may be a little sedate as I still only have 1 working hand, and Tuesday is my day off! Will ask pricing etc tomorrow- a lot of the stuff in there is brand new, so I'm thinking some sort of caravajumble day/open day. The rear panels are warranty replacements- they are done here if needed, young lad is a whizz with that sort of stuff.

 

Bought this rack for the camper new off Ebay, not a named one but its very sturdy- think it was £80 ish.

 

 

 

[oldcars]

That's a decent looking rack. I am wanting one that attaches to the A frame of the caravan, Fiamma make one but i cannot find out how long the a frame needs to be to fit it. Need to look into it more.

[wuvvum]

If you find a towbar for a Rover R3 I'd be interested - with the impending fleet reduction the Rover of Doom might have to start doing tow car duties.

[Guest bangerfan101]

I've got one off a fiesta going begging. It's a sturdy looking lump of iron. Will probably fit other cars with some bodgery as it's just a straight bar.

 

I'm in Wakefield wf3

[Barry Cade]

Would £60 quid delivered for the towbars put you guys off? Obviously I need to go in with some sort of figure- how do you price this stuff?

[eddyramrod]

It wouldn't put me off, certainly; just the apparent failure to exist is what's doing that!  Please, please, find one that fits ONE of my fleet, any one, I don't care which!

No, sir!   

 

Be happy to pay that....

does the tr7 have a plate on it?it looks bad enough to be my old one

[Barry Cade]

Its been there about 16 years, It's just melting into the ground... Will have a look tomorrow.

[For Fiats Sake]

Price seems fair enough to me too.  That place sounds like it's gold/shite plated all the way!

[robinmasters]

I looked at the TR7 pictures and thought 'there's not much left of that TR7 door on top of that pile of scrap'. Took a few minutes to realise what the pile of scrap was.

[Barry Cade]

Ok,all bars 50 quid if you organise delivery yourself..

[Barry Cade]

Moar found today..

Allegro bar is prov. sold, as is 1 of the Subaru Brat bars. E39 bar is U/S, as is Mk1 Fiesta.. parts missing.

[GoGently]

I want a towbar for my ZX it's quite low gear so should be a great puller of Shite & my specials

[PiperCub]

Long shot this but is the 205 one the detachable variety? (As opposed to the flanged type). I'd be interested if it's the former.

[Barry Cade]

No, frayed knot. All old skool flange.

 

Allegro Estate one SOLD!

[Faker]

That tr7 is heart breaking

[groovylee]

if you happen to come across any front windows from a caravan i'd definitely be interested, the plastic type ones.  and/or any plumbing related stuff, as my tin shed is getting to the point where the plumbing is beginning to give up on me

 

cheers!

 

Lee

[New POD]

Do you have one for a facelift Omegawd Saloooon?

[New POD]

That tr7 is heart breaking

 

Probably built in Speke. Shit when new and the spawn of the devil. Like most things BL

[eddyramrod]

Any interesting bars surfaced yet?  Especially for a Tacuma or Rover 213?

[Guest]

No, sorry Eddy. Nothing to fit your cars I'm afraid.

[eddyramrod]

OK thanks... thought it was worth asking!

[Guest]

This any good Eddy?

[eddyramrod]

Thank you!

It's supposedly half-price, which is encouraging, but with single electrics and a bumper guard it's up the wrong side of £100, and I've still got to get it fitted.  So perhaps not.  I'd much rather buy from your stock!

[uk_senator]

My neighbours after one for his 99 Mitsi Spacewagon (99-04 one) if you dig one out.

[KruJoe]

Yo Barry, the RAV4 tow bar - would it fit a 2003 five-door model?

Ta.

[Flat4]

Barry I noticed leisure batteries in your pic - what sizes and prices are they going for please, if you still have any? Any more caravan gear going spare?

[Guest]

All the batteries got cashed in, along with the scrap. All the useable caravan stuff got filed away ,probably for another 30 years. What do you need?
